What a great pickup by the Utes. Mendenhall gets Dupaix and elevates Doman,
while Whittingham adds Tim Davis and Norm Chow. In terms of experience and
know-how it's night and day. Big advantage to Utah.

Glad to have Chow and though I admire your devotion to the Utes Hedghog and
Chris B., please don't bring BYU into as it has nothing to do with them accept
he used to be the OC their (a long long time ago). To me doing so is sinking to
their level as they tend to obsess about all things Utah. We're moving on, no
reason to look in the rearview mirror, PAC 12 should be our only concern now.
Go Utes.

I think Chow is a great hire for the Utes. He will bring a lot of experience to
an already energetic coaching staff. Let's hope he still has some innovation in
him and can pass it along to the younger coaches.

Also, it's
interesting how the comments of the previous "fans" focus on how this
hire will affect BYU. I don't think any BYU fans are losing sleep over this
hire. The last time a Chow offense went to Provo they put up exactly 0 points
against that "unathletic defense". It's apparent, even after all the
changes the past year, that Utah will still judge the success of their season by
how well they do against BYU. Little brother indeed.

Didn't BYU fire him? And he ran the worst offense in the country last year.
Why is this a big get for the Utes? They just picked up yesterday's news and
think it's the future.

And, of course, without fail, yet again, etc,
etc, Hedgehog, Chris B and Howard continue to prove, day in and out (although
Chris B actually posted a somewhat thoughtful comment after BYU beat Utah in
basketball, but apparently that was a fleeting moment) that Max Hall, no matter
if he starts in the NFL or ends up selling phones in the mall, was correct.

Hey, JoeSchmoe, rivalry banter is great, but don't you think it is a bit of a
stretch to say Utah has had only "two good years?" If you mean the
2004 and 2008 undefeated seasons as Utah's "two good years," then BYU
has had exactly one "good year" in its entire history, and that was 26
years ago. No, sir: 9 of the last 10 bowl games and two undefeated seasons and
several 9-win seasons along with 2010's 10-win season all count as "good
years." So do all of BYU's 10-win seasons and other good years. Gotta give
credit where credit is due, amigo.
